Intro: Em, C
Em C
All you great men of power, you who boast of your feats
Em C
Politicians and entrepreneurs
Em C
Can you safeguard your breath in the night while you sleep
Em C
Keep your heart beating steady and sure
D Am6
As you lie in your bed, does the thought haunt your head
Em A7
That you’re really, rather small
C B11 Em
If there’s one thing I know in this life: we are beggars all.
(Em) C
All you champions of science and rulers of men,
Em C
Can you summon the sun from its sleep
Em C
Does the earth seek your counsel on how fast to spin
Em C
Can you shut up the gates of the deep
D Am6
Don’t you know that all things hang, as if by a string,
Em A7
O’er the darkness, poised to fall?
C B11 Em
If there’s one thing I know in this life: we are beggars all.
Em C
All you big shots that swagger and stride with conceit,
Em C
Did you devise how your frame would be formed
Em C
If you’d be raised in a palace, or live out in the streets,
Em C
Did you choose the place or the hour you’d be born
D Am6
Tell me what can you claim? Not a thing, not your name
Em A7 C
Tell me if you can recall just one thing,
B11
That’s not a gift in this life
Am
Can you hear what’s been said
B11 Em A7
Can you see now that everything’s grace after all
C B11 Em
If there’s one thing I know in this life: we are beggars all.
